Comment:I've been taking Remeron for a yr and a half and it has really worked for me. I am taking it for depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Helps well with all three I went from about 1 panic attact a week to one or two at year. I started taking 15mg but was still having some symptoms and asked my dr to up my dose a little so I am now taking 30 mg and very please. I did have strange dreams a lot at first now they are occasional. I did gain weight but seeing that I was 92 pounds(I am 5'7) this was a good side effect. I do sometime eat in the middle of the night and not really remember it but I don't really care about that I find it funny. I am very pleased with the results and continue to take itHide Full Comment

Comment:Everyone's body chemistry is different. For me, this drug was a nightmare. I had researched medications to combat anxiety-based insomnia and thought this was going to be the solution -- one pill to counter depression/anxiety and insomnia. This wasn't the case for me. When I took the lowest dosage (15mg) I experienced heart flutters and severe dizziness (think being on top of a roller coaster or how you feel with a panic/anxiety attack), at odd intervals -- every 30 minutes or so, it would last a minute, then stop, then repeat in another 30 or so minutes. It also knocked me out. Remeron is incredibly effective for sleep, in fact I was still stoned the next day nearly 16 hours later. And that was at the lowest dosage. I honestly don't know how people function on this drug, I couldn't. Bad experience for me. But again, everyone's body chemistry is different, so what didn't work for me, may work for you. After my experiences with this drug, I got off of it immediately and went to my doctor who prescribed another drug (pristiq for anxiety/depression and oxazepam for insomnia -- both working exceptionally well for me).Hide Full Comment

Comment: I was prescribed this med to boost my lexapro and while I was able to sleep I had an insatiable appetite and an increase in anxiety as well as being unable to function the next day because of being groggy.
